Vicki's Leftover Steak Panini

Chef Roly-Poly's Note:

When we have steak night at our house, there is so much to eat that we usually have leftover steak (ribeye or porterhouse). A couple of days later Vicki makes her cheese steak panini. Yummo ! Dinner for two:

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2 asiago cheese rolls (or your favorite sandwich rolls)
• 1/2 large yellow onion
• 4 ounces sliced mushrooms, drained
• 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced in 2 inch strips
• 1 tablespoon butter, plus more for grilling
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 8 ounces leftover steak or 8 ounces deli steak, sliced thin
• 4 slices havarti cheese (or a combination) or 4 slices monterey jack pepper cheese (or a combination)
• salt
• pepper
• garlic powder

Directions:

1. Heat panini grill or regular grill to medium heat.
2. Slice open the rolls lengthwise and set aside.
3. In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter with the oil and saute the vegetables while seasoning to taste until tender and set aside. Place 2 slices of cheese on one half of each roll followed by 4 oz. of the sliced steak. Place half of the vegetables on top of the meat followed by two more slices of cheese. Top with other half of roll.
4. Butter both sides of your sandwiches and grill until browned and cheese is starting to melt. Great with crispy fries.
5. Cooking time includes sauteing vegetables.
